Taking Sides

This achievement takes no less than picking a side in the civil war tearing apart the beautiful nation of Skyrim. All that aside, you'll have to pick between the two warring factions of the game. The factions are the Stormcloaks and the Imperial Army. The Stormcloaks are based out of Windhelm and headed by Ulfric Stormcloak, who you meet in the beginning of the game during the dragon attack at Helgen. The Imperial Army is based out of Solitude, the capitol of Skyrim, and Headed by Jarl Elisif and General Tullius. Picking a side does not prohibit you from safely traveling to enemy held cities or towns.
